Can I name more than one attorney?
Yes. But if you name more than one attorney, they all need to agree on a decision. This is called acting jointly.
To change this, you must write something else in your power of attorney. For example, you could say that they can decide together or on their own. This is called acting jointly and severally.
You can also name one or more substitute attorneys. They act if your other attorney or attorneys are not willing or able to.
